Conquest

    Chapter 344 [Family Glory]

    In the city of Osgiliath, in the urban area of ​​the giant forest in the west of the city, a building that is not too eye-catching, under the dark clouds, is also dyed with a layer of gray color.

    There are no pedestrians on the long street. There are only a group of soldiers on the street, and the pace hastily passed.

    The tall house door was closed, but only one side door was open, an old servant sitting on a chair in the doorway, lazily watching the sky, gently sighing: "Come and go, go again Come……It has been playing for decades, and I have not seen a rest. ”

    The dignitaries and civilians in the city are succumbing to the fate of the future. The old servant of this linen robes, but his face is leisurely and indifferent, as if there is no fear of a slight bit of it, and some are just a few points of detachment.

    It was the time when the crowd was empty. Outside the house, a few expensive horse cars were parked. Several people wearing various Chinese costumes stood outside the door and looked anxiously waiting for something.

    These guys, watching wear, I am afraid that those who are standing in the clouds on weekdays, if they know people, I will be surprised to see these guys. The title and official position of these guys, if placed on weekdays, is simply a condensed version of the imperial central government.

    But at this moment, they were low-eyed and squinting, standing at the door, watching the old servant hold the arrogant look, did not dare to attack, anxiously waiting.

    "I am willing to wait, let's have the old duke, no one!"The old servant sighed and continued to huddle in the chair, squinting and blowing the cool breeze. The wind blew the mess on his head, but it revealed a shocking knife on his forehead.

    In a large house in the government, a mighty old man with silver hair, standing in a cold face, holding a whip in his hand, a heavy cold cry from the nostrils!

    The whip in his hand has already seen the blood, and also hooked a few pieces of broken clothes!

    Pa!

    The whip was thrown on the ground, and the old man seemed to have finally calmed his anger. He looked up at the person in front of him: "Do you understand?"

    The young man in front of him, a handsome face, but a pair of flying eyebrows, made his appearance outside the handsome, more natural heroic spirit and awkwardness. He wrapped a few tendon ropes on his body, and he was so sleepy that his clothes had been smashed and smashed in many places. He had seen blood in several places and his skin was fleshy. But in the eyes, it was still unwilling and unyielding, and the old man looked at him.

    "Father, no matter what you say, I don't understand!"After a pause, the next sentence is even more embarrassing: "The country is difficult to see loyal ministers! I said what I did, all in order to make myself a person, worthy of the name of Minas! ! ! ”

    Duke Minas swayed and looked at his son's stubborn eyes. The two eyes, at the moment, seemed to poke into the heart of the old man!

    The old duke finally sighed and slowly walked to the side, sat down on the arm of the chair, and looked at his son's unyielding eyes, and suddenly smiled silently.

……“silly! ”

    This short word, after a long time, spit out from the mouth of Duke Minas.

    Rhody looked at his father, looked at his own prestige for decades in the Army senior Elder, watching this stomp even those burning warlord party to comity three points of the Imperial Duke-Father in recent years old, father's cowardice, father's bide, over the years accumulated dissatisfaction, At this moment, under the stimulation of the whip and blood, burst out suddenly.

    FATHER I am not stupid! ! ”Rhody straightened his spine and stared at Duke Minas and shouted: "What I think in my heart, you can't understand!" I have never asked for what I have asked for in my heart! ”

    The old duke squinted, and he did not know how many thoughts he had hidden in his eyes. He listened to Rhody, but he still shook his head slowly.

    "silly……and alsoopinionated! ”

    The old man’s throat moved, and he lifted his eyelids again. He looked at the son in front of him, but his voice became soft, as if he was talking to himself:

    "You think I am old, I feel that I have no courage…You think that with your young shoulders, you can pick up the glory of the Minas family…You are against me everywhere. In the past few years, you have let go of the waves, expressing your dissatisfaction with self-contamination, and I have endured you. If you want to do something, I will take care of it and help you. Well, you have to build your career. I will send you to the north! The boy named Shaar Thunder, I will send you to him. Eh…The only thing I did wrong is that I didn't urge you to get on the road! This big change, I have already expected, the place of Imperial Capital has become a whirlpool, I have already guessed it. Hey, Carvesylver, the old thing, for a lifetime, his mind, although I don't know everything, I can always guess a few points. Living in the dead, hēi hēi! Nothing is just a life in the dead! I am single-minded, just want to throw you out of Imperial Capital, far away throwing this vortex that will swallow up countless people! ! Hey, the boy named Shaar Thunder, Caresylver, so fancy him, I must have done a good job, and only the kid is the safest place to go…Unfortunately, you don't understand, you don't understand my plan, you only think that with the blood and recklessness, it is called courage? silly……Self-righteous stupid…"

    Speaking of this, the old duke seems to be a little tired, raised his hand, tried to touch the cup on the case, but touched an empty space, which reminded me that the cup had been smashed by his own anger before. . After rubbing the cracked lips, I looked back at Rhody in front of me.

“……You blame me for keeping you at home. Hey! Well! The national hardship is the head, you little Minas, you have to go to the city to fight blood! You have to be loyal to the empire, you have to be a true brave! You have to hold the sword by yourself and guard this Imperial Capital! ! You blame me, you hate me, hate me to shut you up at home, hate my old man and not let you go out, hate my old man to bind you up, and hate my old man to hold your pace! You secretly want to run out today, you wear the armor hidden under the bed, you took the sword that I gave you that year, and you brought the 18 guards under your hand! Haha! Ok, very! As soon as you get on the wall, the sword sees the blood. With your martial skill, you can always kill several rebel soldiers. When others see you, they will shout "Little Duke Minas", deserve to be called Minas. Family people'…Hey! You think so, right? ! ”

    Rhody stayed, opened his mouth and looked at his father, but couldn't say a word.

    What the father said is indeed what he thinks in his heart. Originally, these words should be justified by their own righteousness, but the father said it on his own behalf, and he used that kind of understatement, even…Even some disdainful tone. One word at a time, but how did it become so tasteless? Why is it like a trace of inappropriate taste? !

    "You are young, bloody, my old man does not blame you. Even a little happy. ”Duke Minas shook his head: "Unfortunately, the words that Carvesylver said in the past were a good word!"

    He looked up at Rhody: "A few years ago, after a banquet, Carvesylver commented on your words. Do you remember?"

    Rhody opened his mouth, and a face suddenly became red, biting his teeth, but he said reluctantly: "Carvesylver said that I…Say me…"He took a deep breath: "The amount of pattern is biased, not handsome, or good!"

    This evaluation, if others say it, is arrogant with Rhody's heart, and she simply dismisses it. But it is from the mouth of Carvesylver, who has almost become the legendary…

    Can't be handsome, or good!

    This sentence, if it is to evaluate others, is already a rare praise, but placed on his Rhody!

……It’s just a curse! !

    His father, Duke Minas, is the Emperor Elder, the real empire! If you can get yourself, you can only be a general, not a handsome…Doesn't this mean pointing to your nose and saying that you are not ugly? !

    "Carvesylver, the old thing, has not dealt with me for decades, but his vision, I admire it. Now it seems that you are indeed not enough in the vision…Hey, say you are biased, or light! I am afraid I still look at my face! To me, you are simply stupid! Self-righteous stupidity! ”

    The old man said, the tone of the more and more dignified and deep.

    He looked around and there were only two fathers and sons in the room. There were only a few loyal family guards in the yard, and there was no other person. The old man sneered.

    "The glory of the Minas family…Hey, jokes are simply a joke. You stupid boy, are you Father, I don't want the glory of the Minas family? Since your sister married the crown prince, I became a tortoise, and I didn’t care much about military affairs. It became a gantry that was placed on it. You said that I am weak, saying that I am old, saying that I am angry…Hmph! Why don't you understand? The real one who doesn’t want what the Minas family’s glory reappears is not my old man, but…Majesty

    After Duke Minas finally said the last word, the body couldn't help but sigh. "The glory of the Minas family, in my hands, has reached its limit." Senior Elder in the First Army of the Empire, hey, it is enough to say that it is radiant. But this 容光, after the extreme, what became it? ”

    The old man’s eyes suddenly changed color and stared at his son. The voice was full of chills: “Do you really want to let our family become the Tulip Family, and break the grandson!”

    Rhody looked white and stared at his father.

    "The empire does not need anything 'the glory of the Minas family'! You don't need any 'Minas family's radiance'! ! This truth, you didn't understand that year, now, you still don't understand? Your sister married the crown prince, this is the line that the Majesty gave us a line, a circle of painting! In the back circle of this line, the Royals will be able to accommodate us! Once out of this circle, it is a bloody disaster! Stupid! silly! I will let you read more and read the history of the mainland…Didn't you see a little doorway? ”The old duke shook his head: "The empire has been in the millennium since the founding of the country, except for the section that opened the country…Behind, when an emperor was in power, could he let the nephew lead the army? ! You don't understand, the meaning of your majesty! Your sister became a Crown Princess and will become a queen in the future! I am a Minas family, as long as the Byzantine Empire is not destroyed, then you don't have to worry about wealth! But you can never take the power again! ! You are full of brains and bloody years…Hey, don’t you understand that our Minas family can’t be related to the army anymore! ”

    "The marriage that year, you are dissatisfied, I understand, you think I sold my daughter for peace. HumThe old duke shook his head: "The war against Odin last year, you asked me for a day outside my study room, let me throw you to the army, go to the north, go to the front line, I have not married your wish, You will double the waves, ruin your reputation, drink, play with women, and those of Imperial Capital who are all day long…I thought about it in my heart, but even if you really become a beggar, there is your sister, there is me, how can you preserve the status of the family. You don't understand the truth, your sister understands! ! She is more clear than you!

    Later, the war was over, and after a paper order, Adrick came to Beijing. You ran to ask Adek and begged him to get you into the army…Hey, you are learning smart! Knowing that I am useless, ran to ask others! However, although Adrick is straight, it is not a fool after all.

    Hey, when your sister married the crown prince, you don't understand why.

    Then at the beginning of this year, His Majesty took Adrick to the position of Minister of Military Affairs and brought his two shackles to the position of Army General. He made an 'Adrix' out of life, are you? I still don't understand!

    EMPIREYou don't need the Minas family to be in the first place! ! This is what you mean! ! ”

    Rhody had already listened, staring at his father and looking at his old father, as if talking to himself.

    "no need……Really no need. HahaDo you still remember? The night before Adrick took office, he came to see me. He is my student. However, he stood outside the door for one night. I didn't see him. He just took a ceremony at the door of our house and asked the doorman to say something to him. He said he understood. I am so pleased with my old man…Hey, Adek is straight, but he is smarter than you! He understood that he was carrying him up, just to replace me! ”

    "Father, father, I don't understand, Your Majesty…"Rhody's stuttering opening.

    "Do you understand what? I don't understand why you gave up our Minas family and took Adrick to the stage. Why don't you take my old man like a ready-made military senior Elder? Or why not train your up-and-coming talent? ”Duke Minas smiled and smiled a little deep!

    He stared at his son and took a deep breath. The last two words, but the Rhody heart trembled!

“……Think about it! If you are holding Adrick up, you can still take someone else to balance him! At that time, hold Saron Bonelli, or choose a loyal aristocrat family. Although Adek is in the limelight, it is not as good as my prestige. Holding him up, the Royal Family also has the power to limit him!

    But if…The emperor holds the words of our Minas…Looking at the whole empire, but where can I find a person who is qualified to compete with my old man to limit me? ”

    thump!

    After listening to this sentence, Rhody was originally lying on the ground, but suddenly fell back on the floor! With a big eye on his father, a word that is too late can’t be said!

    "To blame…Just blame you for being born at our Minas home. Don't mention the glory of the Minas family, hēi hēi, because your surname Minas, so in your life, it is best not to touch any military power. This is your mission as a member of the Minas family! ”

    The father and son looked at each other for a long time, but this time, Rhody's eyes could no longer see a trace of fiery and eager, leaving only the deep and lonely.

    Finally, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door. A servant wearing a samurai robe rushed in. When he came in, his face was dignified: "Lord Duke…Outside the door…"

    Old Duke Minas looked down and looked at the servant. He said coldly: "I didn't say it, no matter who asks for it, I will stop it!"

    With the news of the defeat of the Southern Aid Forces last night, the people in the empire were swaying, and many people began to think about the road. The big ship of Byzantine was afraid of sinking. At this time, loyalty. Of course, there are people who die, but there are many people who care about him.

    The warlord party in the city has long been cleaned up. It is also very rare to want to take the road and the line there.

    Some people, think about it, but suddenly remembered Duke Minas, the Senior Elder.

    Whether it is the survival of the empire or the rebellion into the city, others may be worried, but the old duke is rock solid.

    Nothing else, only for the old duke, an army life, great prestige in the army, even the Governors of the former Terma military area in the rebel army, there are many people who used to be the old duke. Some even have the friendship with the old duke.

    Even if the disaster is coming, the old duke is still alive!

    Since last night, many people have begun to put Duke Minas in succession, but the old duke ordered the portal to be closed. No matter who they are, they are all outside.

    The servant who came in, after being scolded by the old duke for two sentences, quickly whispered: "Lord…It was the son of the Prime Minister Lord who came from Salon Bonelli. ”

    Saren Bonili sent his son to come?

    Duke Minas groaned, and there was a strong uneasiness in my heart!

    Others come to see themselves, perhaps just for the way, in preparation for the coming day. But…Saron Bonelli will never! The Sorom family is the head of the aristocrat faction, and the warlord party is not in the sky, others will shake…The only way for Saron Bonelli is to continue with the big ship of Byzantine Empire! There is no way for him!

    "People!"The old duke asked the next subconscious.

    "left already."The servant bowed and replied: "The Prime Minister of the Prime Minister Lord only came with a word, and the Prime Minister Lord must pay to tell you…"

    "What?"

    The servant’s face is also somewhat awesome, saying: “The Prime Minister Lord said that his majesty has already been…It has been

    "What the hell!"The old duke suddenly blinked, and the majesty of the body suddenly, the servant of the thorns quickly bent down, and quickly said: "Your Majesty gave him the power to control all the defenses in the city. Prime Minister Lord said that he does not know the military, so he wants to hire the young Lord Rhody. For his staff, he is a servant of military advisers."

    Upon hearing this, the old duke suddenly stunned his face!

    He threw a few steps back, as if he wanted to sit in a chair, but he sat down, but he sat down in an empty voice, and he was so embarrassed and sat down on the ground!

    The old man immediately went to the subconscious to get up, only to move his arm, but suddenly opened his mouth, and a sip of blood spurted out! !

    On the side of Rhody, the original body was tied with a tendon rope. When he saw his father fall and vomited blood, he exclaimed, his arms twitched, and his voice was crisp and clear. The body of the beef tendon broke, and he quickly got a few big. Stepped to the side of his father, he hugged the old man and placed it on the chair and lie down, and quickly wiped his chest.

    FATHER FATHER

    Duke Minas licked his eyelids, and there was a red blood on his beard. He looked at his son and took a deep breath. His voice was a little weak: "Help me get up…"

    "Father, you just spit blood…"Rhody looked anxious.

    "Globe!!!"The old man suddenly blinked, and the light in his eyes was so scary that he couldn’t dare to look at it: "Help me get up!!!"

    Where does Rhody dare to violate? Hurry up and sit up straight, the old man closes his eyes, it is silent for a few seconds, when you open your eyes, the eyes are already in the light – but the face is more and more bloodless!

    "Prepare horses, gather people…Take my robes! ! andThose guys outside the door, let them go, no longer go, the stick to fight! All broke up! FastThe old man quickly made a few orders, and the servant under his command was still hesitating. The old duke had already screamed heavily: "It is a military order!"

    The servant immediately had a chest, and he took a ritual, and he turned and strode out, killing the fire! Obviously, the servants of the Minas family are the Praetorian Guards of his army.

    "Your Majesty authorizes Salon Bonelli…Prime Minister Lord hires you to be an unrecognized military adviser…"The old duke looked at his son: "Do you know what it means?"

    Rhody shook his head anxiously.

    YesDon't be alone! ”The old duke suddenly shed tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am going!"
